The famous explorer of the Arctic region, Sir John Franklin (1786-1847) was appointed Governor of the penal colony of Tasmania
(then known as Van Diemen's Land) in 1837. At first enthusiastically welcomed by the free colonists of the island, Franklin
quickly became embroiled in political and administrative difficulties, and his compassion for convicts and aboriginals alike
was incompatible with his duties. In 1843, colonial officials loyal to his predecessor succeeded in getting Franklin recalled
by sending damaging accounts of his conduct to London. This pamphlet was Franklin's defence of his own character against these
misrepresentations, but he was not to see his reputation recovered. He completed the book on 15 May 1845, just days before
he departed on another Arctic expedition to search for the North-West Passage. Franklin and his entire crew died on the journey,
and only many years later was the tragic fate of the expedition discovered

In 1845 Sir John Franklin set off to find the Northwest Passage through the Canadian Arctic. Franklin, his two ships and 129
men were never heard from again. And the fate of the expedition has become one of the greatest mysteries in the history of
exploration. But does the discovery last summer of Franklin's flagship Erebus mean the mystery has been solved? The location
of the ship validates the Inuit oral history about the British crew -- how after all of them abandoned the ships a few straggling
survivors came back and rode her south with the moving ice. Once the Erebus was frozen in near the Adelaide Peninsula, it
looks like the men lived on board for at least one more winter before trying to escape the Arctic again on foot. Franklin's
Lost Ships uses CGI, re-enactments and a good old-fashioned adventure yarn to lay out how Franklin's expedition became the
worst disaster in polar exploration history. It took scientific discipline, Inuit oral history and some luck to finally find
the Erebus. But the story is far from over
